Greater Chimgan is highly regarded by visitors as a scenic and refreshing escape from Tashkent, often described as an underrated natural gem. Reviewers frequently mention the stunning panoramic views and the beautiful drive required to reach the area. While the mountain offers a quiet atmosphere, it can become crowded on weekends, leading to closures of the ropeway due to high demand. Many visitors enjoy the ATV rides, noting that prices can be bargained down to around five dollars. The weather at the top is consistently described as chilly or cold, even when it is warm elsewhere, making windcheaters and light winter clothing essential. Some safety concerns were raised regarding the chairlift's design, but the overall consensus is that the effort to reach this difficult-to-access peak is well worth it for the experience.
